Loki's Revenge v0.2 OUT NOW

I hope you all had a pleasant holiday break. I personally took a break from game dev for awhile and am now feeling ready to get back into things. I've put together an update with several highly requested features here. There's a few more things I want to do like this, and then I'll be able to focus on new characters, weapons, etc. for awhile.

Here are the big changes and additions:

• Limited the number of boons you can take in a run as follows:

  • 3 Weapon-type boons

  • 6 Passive-type boons (including status effects)

  • Picking up a boon in the map when already at max breaks this limit and allows you to take extra boons

  • Once maxed out of a specific type of boon, you will only see level up versions of ones you've taken for the remainder of your run

  • The Boon list in the upper left UI has been updated to reflect these limits

• Added off-screen indicators (toggleable in the options menu, on by default) for the following:

  • Boons in the map

  • Bifrost Shards

  • Bifrost Bridge

Here's all the changes in v0.2:

• Fixed a bug where duplicates of a Boon could appear in the level up list (i.e. you already got Lv 2 of Vampiric Wing, but it reappeared in the upgrade list)

• Fixed the Draugr Mage projectile being rotated incorrectly

• Made the Stat Upgrade button on the Character Select screen more visually distinct and obvious

• Rebalanced Vampiric Wing. It previously was triggering nearly constantly and now feels a lot more fair. If you care about the specifics:

  • Previously, your Luck stat (0-1) was purely added to the change (1-3% based on level) and then a roll would happen on every enemy hit. When you had a higher luck stat, this was an effective guarantee it would proc

  • Now, the luck stat is weighted less by halving it before adding it to the base chance (1-3%). This now makes for a maximum 53% chance at full Luck + Lv. 3 Vampiric Wing.

• Fixed an issue where the tooltip/hover text for your Boon list would incorrectly display the effect text of only Level 1, even if you had Lv 2 or 3

• Fixed an issue where getting enough XP to level up multiple times at once would only give you 1 Boon selection. You now immediately get to pick additional boons for each extra level you've gained

• Attempt to fix a slow down/crash experienced when a lot of XP was collected at once (i.e. via a magnet pickup) by consolidating off-screen XP into 1 object with a higher value
